October is International Pregnancy and
Infant Loss Awareness Month. Sadly, still today one in four pregnancies end in
loss, leaving behind devastated families. According to the Stillbirth
Foundation Australia there are six stillborn babies born every day in
Australia, a statistic that has not changedin decades.

Throughout the month of October, the Wave
of Polish campaign runs two main events to promote awareness and support for
pregnancy and infant loss, as well as to raise funds to support the charities
supporting bereaved parents.

In the first event you are encouraged to
paint your nails pink and blue to show your support.You will also help raise awareness of
pregnancy and Infant loss. We are in our 4th year and have found
many people encouraged to share their story, some for the first time, just
through the simple act of sharing our nails Please don't forget to Post your manis on
social media using the hashtag #waveofpolish and follow the IG @waveofpolish. October
15th is Pregnancy and Infant Loss awareness day, this is the best day to show
your support. If there is only one day you can paint your nails this month,
please chose this date. To honour the little ones taken too young on the 15th
of October at 7pm wherever you live please join in and stop a moment with us
and light a candle. As the clock, strikes seven in different parts of the world
a wave of light will wash over the world for those precious angels who we no
longer share this earth with. We also want this to be a day across the nail
community that shows parents we care, we remember, we are here to support you
by sharing your nails.

About Me

Located in the middle of nowhere, planted in the cornfields of the Great Plains, I like to enjoy my spot of color. Nail polish adds flashes of otherness to the sea of blue, tan, and white in which I live.
